  • South Korea Deputy PM Urges AI Wealth to Benefit Public Amid Samsung Labor Strife
    May 23, 2026, 7:15 AM EDT. South Korea's Deputy Prime Minister Bae Kyung-hoon emphasized the need for wealth generated by artificial intelligence (AI) to benefit the wider public amid concerns it could worsen inequality and cause job losses. Speaking after a suspended strike at Samsung Electronics, Bae linked labor tensions to broader challenges posed by AI advancements. Samsung workers had sought bonus contract formalization and profit-linked payouts, reaching a tentative deal after government intervention. Bae warned such labor disputes may continue as large AI-driven firms emerge, stressing resolution through dialogue. He also cited Hyundai's use of robots in manufacturing, highlighting societal impacts. Seoul aims to build an "AI-inclusive society" ensuring no one is left behind. The Deputy PM's remarks follow proposals to redistribute excess tax revenues from AI and semiconductor sectors.
